Summary: We (2 adults, 11 year old child and a dog) stayed at Twin Pines for a long weekend (3 nights) and it was lovely. The cottage is cozy and located beautifully on Cayuga Lake, and a 20 minute drive from Ithaca. The hosts, Ed and Dennis are very helpful and kind, showed us around the property and gave us good local recommendations for our stay. Would return again if in the area! Thank you!

Summary: We were incredibly excited to book this location, the views are splendid and the privacy is unmatched! We had a great weekend. Cleanliness: we stayed in early October, so likely the cabin was nearing the end of its season of use. But there were cobwebs around some furniture with spiders and dust on ceiling fans, in high ceiling corners and above sleeping areas. As well, we were made aware of a bee problem on the deck, the night of our arrival that dampened our morning coffee views. The property could use a deep clean, but other than that it was very organized and comfortable. We consistently reminded ourselves it was a cabin but for spending a lot of $$$ on a 3 night weekend VRBO rather than a state park cabin, it should have been in better shape. Hosts: were great! Their introduction and availability was very compassionate. They have a wonderful property. When messaged about the spider web/cleanliness issue they came over that day to clean the areas we had pointed out in our message. Overall: If you’re comfortable with the daily rate and some dust and dirt, go for it! It’s a cute and cozy lived in cabin. Be mindful that the rooms upstairs are shared by a thin wall and sliding glass door so there is little privacy up there. The views in the summer and the zero entry water access would have me sold. Thank you to the hosts:)

Summary: We were visiting our son at college and looking forward to a relaxing, enjoyable fall weekend on the lake. Mission accomplished! The hosts are easily accessible and very responsive. The cottage is clean and comfortable. No neighbors are close enough to be a potential bother. The view is beautiful. We split our outside time between the deck and the wonderful fire-ring/dock area by the lake and enjoyed every minute. The only "4" I gave was because it is a little difficult to drive to, but don't let that deter you, the destination is worth the journey!

Summary: This property is well maintained and provided us with the perfect place for our annual trip to the Finger Lakes. We loved the proximity to sites like the Falls and Ithaca. The cottage has great views in every room! There is plenty of room for a family of 4 or 6 to spread out and relax! The lake are was private and had ample space. We would stay here again in the future!

Summary: The cottage is full of personality and charm with lovely views of the lake. The location was perfect for our touring around the Finger Lakes and for quiet mornings and relaxing evenings. You need a vehicle that can navigate a rocky driveway and legs that can handle lots of steps.

Summary: We've spent a week at Twin Pines cottage, a family of 4. We really enjoyed it. Communication with the owners is easy, they respond very quickly and provide detailed info. The cottage sits on a beautiful spot. We dont do wineries but regardless, we've had other fun activities everyday of the week- horseback riding, fishing charter, sunset sailing tour, pontoon boat and tube rental, a visit to local Alpaca farm, Ithaca Farmer's market, Discover Cayuga eco lake tour and so on. We enjoyed our barbeque on the beach and explored nearby forest a bit. What a great time! Thank you very much, Dennis and Ed for allowing us to stay here.

Summary: Visited with a friend- both of us needed a “reboot” to de-stress and re-energize. What a great retreat! The cottage was wonderful and filled with character (unique, comfortable, clean, well furnished). The area was beautiful and definition of serene. The hosts were friendly, helpful with referrals for the area, and accessible if needed. They are obviously committed to being good hosts and commited to being great spokes persons for the Finger Lakes and Ithaca area. Time at Twin Pines was 10+ !!
